Good Work if You Can Get It

Recently the TSA relaxed the restrictions on liquids and gels that can be taken on airplanes. Did anyone notice this guideline :
Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; ... You are not limited in the amount or volume of these items you may bring in your carry-on baggage. BUT if the medically necessary items exceed 3 ounces or are not contained in a one-quart, zip-top plastic bag, you MUST declare to one of our Security Officers at the checkpoint for further inspection
So does that mean women with breast implants or padded bras of more than 3 ounces have to declare them to security for further inspection? If they are implants, does that count as carry-on baggage? As part of inspecting the implants, does the bearer have to prove they are medically necessary?

And what about women with naturally large breasts, the type that you might think were augmented but are actually all natural? Do they have to get inspected as well to prove they are all woman?
